What to use for Electric Upright Bass Amplification?
Lately, I've been fascinated by electric upright basses. It started with seeing one in a store, and now I've been looking at EUB's of all price ranges online.
I realized, though, that I'm entirely unclear on the best way to amplify one.
Acoustic amplifiers? (do they even make acoustic bass amps?)
Electric (bass guitar) amplifiers?
DI into a PA (or whatever - maybe a recording device)?
Something I haven't listed?

There are specific amps for double basses and they are one of the best choices.
Amps for electric basses will do, but the sound quality might vary from amp to amp. Cannot guarantee you'll get the best result out of such an amp.
There are amps that combine the two aforementioned ones. Like the AER Basic Performer (which I have and I can say for sure it's a good choice for both).
You can also use some kind of pre amp and connect it directly from that to the console they use at live shows, which is a good choice if you don't have enough money to buy an amp or cannot carry one.
